I use it as an acknowledgement at work, and to be a sarcastic asshole with my friends. Context is key.

Sort of just seems like math too me. If a basket has apples and oranges in it, but far more are apples then oranges, it’s safe to assume you’ll see more apples when you look in the basket. Doesn’t mean the oranges aren’t just a good as the apples, there’s just more apples.
Genuine question, and I don’t mean any disrespect, if down votes are intended to mean people disagree with you, and you don’t know these people, why did you care so much that you won’t share your opinion on things again? I’ve never understood this way of thinking. Maybe I’m just weird but I for the life of me can’t imagine caring that much about what strangers think.
I feel a lot of the times you get better answers here if only for the community being a bit better in quality. However, way more questions have been asked and answered on Reddit.
Just Reddit. You can request you data from them. For whatever reason it takes a few days (up to 30 from what they say) so I had to wait for it to come in.
I deleted my account the other day actually, once the backup was complete. I’m sure most will stay on Reddit but honest Lemmy is better off. Sure, there isn’t as much content but most of the content on Reddit isn’t really worth any one’s time anyway.
New communities are popping up all the time here and it’s great to see.
No, and honestly don’t really miss it. Lemmy is fine for what I need it for. Sometimes if I search for an answer I’ll get a result that happens to be on Reddit so if that counts then so be it.
With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that’s not too big of a surprise
Completely agree, and I fit all three on the list. While a lot of new users have come in recently, the fediverse isn’t as mainstream as the centralized services that everyone knows about. Also, young people will sign up for services they’re friends are on.
It’s amazing how fast Reddit went from my favorite place to be online to a trash heap

I agree 100%. I tried Lemmy and Mastodon not very long ago out of curiosity and now I’m in the process of deleting my other social accounts. I didn’t realize how little I actually engaged with Reddit and Twitter until I started doing so here.
More and more of these communities are going to see the grass is actually greener on the other side once they’ve had enough of Reddits nonsense.
Thank you for all the hard work and transparency as always! Everything is running perfectly knocks on wood
Like a lot of people here have already said, I think a different space is being created for those that are more in the know. The average person just isn’t as invested or versed in what’s going on to move to a different platform when the current is working fine for them.
I agree with you of course, proven by where we are having this conversation. However, I have my doubts about the majority of Reddit users switching, at least currently. Most people don’t understand what is going on and are even more confused by the alternatives.
Because they don’t have too be. Most people are so dependent on social media that they’ll keep using a service even though they hate it. Like a drug addict who keeps using even though it’s killing them.
I wish I could find a TV for sale that isn’t a Smart TV. It’s not necessary and you get issues like this down the road. I’m sure it isn’t too long until the other TV manufactures do the same thing.
